Re: Explant update

[Guest guest]

, I had the same experience. The day after the surgery, my

husband and I were riding around Ohio, and went to dinner. However,

on day three and four I experienced quite a bit of fatigue, and I

stayed in bed in my hotel room until the doctor released me to go

home. I had my surgery on Monday and went home on Friday. On

Friday I actually drove myself home in a rental car (I had sent my

husband home on Wednesday, because his restlessness was kind of

stressful). I think the fatigue is probably worse for people with

our conditions, because our bodies are already stressed due to the

illness, and then adding surgery to the mix just makes it that much

harder. However, I knew there was no choice for me but to have the

implants out, and I felt there was no chance of getting better with

them in. Take good care of yourself.
